- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an exemplary semiconductor cooling apparatus.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of an exemplary cooling element of a semiconductor cooling apparatus.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of internal flow passages of an exemplary cooling element.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of an exemplary fastener mounting a cooling element to a semiconductor element.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of a mounting arrangement for an exemplary cooling element.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of an electronics assembly incorporating a cooling apparatus, according to an illustrative embodiment.
- Semiconductor elements such as a ball grid array (BGA) can be used as part of aerospace sensor architectures and/or other semiconductor architectures.
- each of the semiconductor elements is soldered to a primary circuit board (e.g., motherboard, array, etc.) creating a semiconductor array.
- a semiconductor cooling apparatus is needed to quickly and efficiently transfer heat from each element.
- elements in the semiconductor array can vary in height due to manufacturing tolerances, making it difficult to effectively and consistently transfer heat from the semiconductor elements.
- coolant supply mechanisms into a semiconductor cooling apparatus because of the difficulty in routing coolant to a cooling element while maintaining a low profile and/or compact electronics system that incorporates the semiconductor element and cooling apparatus.
- the semiconductor cooling apparatus includes a flexible cooling element to thermally couple to a semiconductor element.
- the semiconductor cooling apparatus also includes a cold plate that effectively routes coolant to the cooling element and exhausts heated coolant received from the cooling element.
- the monolithic cooling element can flex to conform to the height of a semiconductor element (e.g., a math coprocessor is 0.02 inches high and a video processor is 0.04 inches high, BGA applications are about 0.08 inches to about 0.14 inches, an input/output processor is 0.023 inches high and an encryption processor is 0.034 inches high, etc.), thereby increasing the thermal transfer between a semiconductor element and a cooling element.
- a semiconductor element e.g., a math coprocessor is 0.02 inches high and a video processor is 0.04 inches high, BGA applications are about 0.08 inches to about 0.14 inches, an input/output processor is 0.023 inches high and an encryption processor is 0.034 inches high, etc.
- Each cooling element is able to cool a single component with height variations due to manufacturing tolerances.
- BGA uses solder balls between the package and the board for passing electrical signals; the solder balls are melted when the BGA is installed. Every time a BGA is installed, that solder thickness varies.
- the cooling elements described mitigate height variations of the same part from unit to unit.
- the monolithic cooling elements described advantageously integrate a heat exchanger and flexible supply and return manifolds into a single component. Having a monolithic element eliminates the need for another fluidic interconnect to transfer the coolant from the heat exchanger to the flexible manifolds. Those fluidic interconnects are leaky and bulky.
- a cooling element is formed through a bonding process to form the monolithic structure.
- the bonding includes diffusion bonding, adhesive bonding, brazing, and/or any other type of bonding mechanism.
- Effective cooling of semiconductor elements presents a unique thermal design problem due to variations in the physical dimensions of the semiconductor elements from one assembly to the next assembly and/or between production units.
- the semiconductor cooling apparatus as described herein can advantageously solve this thermal design problem by combining flexible cooling elements with coolant supply features that integrate both structural and hydraulic functions.

- the heated coolant is then exhausted from the heat exchanger 132 to the flexible coolant return manifold 140 .
- the flexible coolant return manifold 140 then provides the returned coolant to the cold plate 148 via the internal passage 160 b of the riser 156 b .

- the cold plate 148 is not located below the printed wiring board 118 .
- the cold plate 148 could be located above or next to/adjacent the printed wiring board 118 .
- the system includes a 6-sided box where the printed wiring board is bonded to the base of the box which is solid metal, and coolant runs through one or more side walls of the box.
- the flexible manifolds are bent 90-degrees to couple to the cold plate, or, risers extend out from the side of the box to enable fluidic and mechanical coupling to accomplish the principles described herein.
- the risers 156 can be, for example, posts or other structures extending from a surface of the cold plate 148 .
- the risers 156 can be, for example, bonded to the cold plate 148 .
- the flexible coolant supply manifold 136 and the flexible coolant return manifold 140 can be attached to the risers 156 by screws (as described further below) or otherwise coupled (e.g., by adhesive bonding, diffusion bonding) to the risers 156 by one or more alternative connection methods.
- the risers 156 can be manufactured using the same material as the cold plate 148 , or other suitable material (e.g., plastic, rubber, metal, metal allow) that allows for coolant to be transmitted through the risers 156 .
- the heat exchanger 132 can be spring loaded to the semiconductor element 110 if the top surface 162 of the risers 156 is lower (in the positive direction of the Y-axis) than the top surface 128 of the semiconductor element 110 .
- the heat exchanger 132 is deformed along the length of the supply and return manifolds 136 and 140 .
- the deformation causes the cooling element 122 to be spring loaded to the semiconductor element 110 thereby applying a force to maintain the thermal coupling between the heat exchanger 132 and the semiconductor element 110 .
- the force generated can be varied based on one or more of a variety of design parameters.
- the spring constant can be changed or specified based on, for example, the material type of the flexible manifold, the wall thickness of the of the cooling element where the flexible manifolds are deformed, or another geometric property of the flexible manifold (e.g., length, width, thickness).
- the runners 512 may be designed for plastic deformation instead of elastic deformation.
- the heat exchanger is fixed in space and the flexible manifolds flex to mate with the risers. In some embodiments, the flexible manifolds flex to enable the heat exchanger to mate with the semiconductor element.

For example, the cooling element 122 flexes 0.030 inches to be in contact with the semiconductor element 122 . The flexibility of the cooling element 122 advantageously enables the thermal resistance interface to be reduced (e.g., reduced thermal penalty from 20° C. to 10° C.; reduced thermal penalty from 8° C. to 3.2° C., etc.), thereby increasing the efficiency of the semiconductor cooling apparatus 100 and increasing the life of the semiconductor element 110 .
